Dana was so incredible, I have already booked her for another trip! I was so anxious about taking my first trip away from my cat. She was so transparent about everything, informative and helped me feel so much better. I ended up having an issue with my pets water receptacle which was just a huge headache just as I was leaving for my trip across the country. She was FANTASTIC! She send pictures and videos and was so communicative and accommodating. She totally set me at ease which is hard to do! THANK YOU DANA!!!

Janine was wonderful. She took great care of my little beastie, Squeeks, and was very accommodating about picking up and dropping off keys at a nearby location. She sent pics daily and was clearly someone who knew how to play with cats.

About: I have had a great love of all animals for as long as I’ve lived! I would love to walk/pet sit dogs whenever I can just to get more quality time with dogs in my life! I had worked in the retail sector of the pet care industry for 10+ years. The absolute best part of my job was getting to see the dogs that come in the store with their happy little wiggle-butts! I absolutely adore cats and have three of my own. I would be thrilled to pet sit for your cats as well! I have also spent time volunteering with a local cat rescue, where I learned about different types of care and medication administration I am currently focusing on gaining new clients and furry friends via Rover. I am available weekdays and weekends, from early mornings to late evenings I offer and kind and gentle service to animals of all types. I especially want to make sure they always feel safe and comfortable with me and their surroundings

About: Hi there! I recently said goodbye to my senior dog, Riley, who was just shy of 13. He was my daily walking buddy, my constant companion, and truly the heart of my home. Losing him has left a big space in my life, and I find myself missing the simple joy of walking with a four-legged friend and sharing that unconditional love and companionship. Because Riley was a senior boy, I have lots of experience supporting older dogs—everything from giving medications to understanding their changing energy levels and mobility needs. I also cared for a cat with long-term health issues for several years, so I’m very comfortable with gentle handling, special routines, and pets who need a little extra attention. Ian has also been around dogs his entire life and helped with Rileys care the last year of his life. His current furry best freind is Sophia the frenchie. He is such a great dog dad to her, making sure her health and wellness is always top priority... and if you know about french bull dogs you would understand this!! ;) We would both love the opportunity to spend time with your dogs, get back to those peaceful walks in nature, and offer the same patience, care, and kindness that we give to our own animals. Whether your pet is young and full of energy or a slow-moving senior with a big heart, We would be honoured to help them feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I am self employed and have a somewhat flexible schedule with various times available to visit your pet or take them for a walk. I am available most mornings, several evenings and weekends. Ian is available most weeknights and weekends. We pay close attention to the little details and will follow any instructions you share so your pet has everything they need to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, and parrots. I love animals. I am always gentle with them and will play and pet your furry friend. I do gig work so my availability is fairly flexible. I can make changes when needed and can even do same day care if I’m free. I will follow your orders. I can watch your pets in your house and take them outside in the yard. I can walk them too.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and have always been very involved in their care. Over the years, I’ve helped walk and pet-sit for family and friends, working with dogs of all sizes from 5 lbs to 65 lbs and all energy levels, from slow neighborhood walkers, who want to smell every blade of grass to high-energy pups who pull every step they take. I’ve had experience with both very shy/timid dogs and a reactive dog in my own home, which has taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of following an owner’s training style closely. I’m comfortable using tools like special leads, clickers and etc.,I will always respect your routines, rules, and any training you’re working on. I’m a recent graduate who also grew up riding horses and caring for goats and sheep, so being around animals feels completely natural to me. I truly do this because I love spending time with animals especially since I can’t currently have a dog of my own in my space and I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I typically work between 10am–6pm, with some days finishing way earlier. For house sitting or drop-in visits, this means I’m able to spend quality time with pets in the morning before work including feeding, walks, medication routines, and playtime and then return in the evening for another visit, feeding, and attention. Evenings are often longer visits, especially for dogs who enjoy extended walks or cats who prefer calm companionship and cuddle time. On days I’m off work, I’m available for multiple visits throughout the day and can accommodate midday check-ins or longer outings for high-energy dogs, including enriching walks or hikes if appropriate. I treat every client’s home with the utmost respect and care. I am clean, organized, and conscientious about leaving your home exactly as I found it. Any messes made by pets will be promptly cleaned, and I ensure food, litter areas, and living spaces remain tidy. My priority is that your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away and that you return home to a happy animal and a home that looks untouched.

About: Hi there, my name is Tamara! It's nice to meet you. I'm a registered diagnostic medical sonographer that works between the hospitals in Comox Valley & in Campbell River. My work involves creating a connection with people, a love of anatomy.... and sitting in a dark room for 8 hours a day! Taking care of your furry friend not only means they get their beloved outdoor time, but I get mine too. I have grown up around dogs most of my life, and look forward to the day I can adopt my own. Until then, I'm so grateful for the connections I get to make with your furry family member, and to help you find peace of mind while they're in my hands. Please let me know, if it's ever a weekend visit, if you'd like me to take your dog for a hike. My husband and I like to get outdoors on our days off, and will happily take your dog along if you think they could really burn off some energy. I have experience in training as well, so if there's certain commands or habits you're trying to reach your dog, let me know so I can continue that work while they're with me. I'm comfortable with medication too, as my family dog is in his senior years (14 years young!) and requires the odd medication when his age shows. !!Currently located: Comox My hours vary Monday-Friday with work. My start time ranges between 6am-9am, and ends 8hrs after that. When I work in Comox, I can let your dog out on my lunch break. However, I cannot do that when I'm working in Campbell River, so they'd have to be okay with being left alone for 8hrs until my husband can let them out on those days. I'll be sure to let you know! My place isn't pet friendly so I unfortunately cannot have your pet over. However, house sitting will involve plenty of walks and couch snuggles! On weekends, my husband and I usually get outside, hiking, snowshoeing, mountain biking even (if your dog is a trail dog!), so let us know if that's something your pet would be up to doing.

Madison was a lifesaver when I was in a pinch! Tuna is pretty easygoing, but I'm so grateful she stepped in while I was out of town for 30 hours. Even without an in-person meeting, she visited twice, kept me well-informed, and made everything seamless. Highly recommend!

About: I have been around animals from a very young age and have worked in veterinary clinic form the past 6 years. I am a current veterinary student at the University of Calgary and as such have ample experience working with all sorts of animals including animals with additional support needs. I currently work part time in the evenings and as such have plenty of time for animal care throughout the mornings and afternoons! Additionally, I have full availability for pet care on days that I do not work. As I have many years of animal handling experience under my belt, I feel that u have a very strong understanding of animal behaviour and communication. This will help me interact with your pet in a way that is comfortable for them and allows us to build rapport quickly and easily!

My girl Teaka had a great time with Bailey. You could tell when i picked her up how they interacted together & she gave him kisses before we left. I had a full day of errands around Abbotsford / Chilliwack and coming far out of town it was difficult for me to syncronize everything but Bailey was so accomodating & it made my day much smoother. I would happily leave Teaka with Bailey again.

About: I'm new here, but I have already done several pet-sitting jobs for my friends. I love dogs and like to play and cuddle with them. Since I'm traveling and working abroad, it's not possible for me to have my own pets. So if I can help others and be with animals at the same time, it makes me really happy. I work Monday to Friday from 5 AM to 1 PM. After that, I have the entire afternoon to watch the animals. In the evening, I sometimes have CrossFit or volleyball for 1-2 hours, but after that, I would be back again. I am not allowed to have pets in my apartment, so in any case, I would have to come to your house. But there, I would take good care of the animals as well.

Dana was so kind and focused on taking exceptional care of our rabbits. She was there on time, communicated thoroughly and regularly, and when she needed to she reached out with questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dana for pet care and will continue to use her services in the future.

Fiona is an exceptional animal sitter. She left our home clean and tidy and made sure the bunnies were fed and happy. She spent extra time with them and sent lots of updates. We felt totally relaxed while away knowing she was caring for our animals.
